How to Spot a Narcissist (by Scott Barry Kaufman for Psychology Today)
http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201106/how-spot-narcissist
"This great article is a must-read for anyone puzzled as to how they ended up with a sexual compulsive. While not all SACs are narcissists, so many are that we feel this article should be a mandatory PoSA read. As the article points out, narcissism is within everyone; it exists on a continuum. But it’s helpful to see roughly where on the continuum your partner (or ex) falls. From there, action can be taken to protect yourself, get out if that’s part of your plan, and protect yourself from a SAC in your future.
Many sections deal with the way the narcissist exploits the opposite sex for short-term sexual gain, and why. Towards the end of the piece, the caveat is made abundantly clear: you cannot change one of these people. They don’t want to change; they think they’re ahead of the curve.
You can save yourself a lot of money in therapy bills, heartache and precious time gleaning that truth from the article."

This article is so painfully true. Unfortunately we do realize who or what our partner is when it is too late and we are already invested in the relationship with our emotions. One of the first signs also I will look for next time is how fast they move in the relationship. If it’s a whirlwind relationship I will know next time to run.
